It has been exactly 6 days since the release of Vijay's Leo trailer. In these 6 days, one section of the fans has been raving about the trailer, while another section of the audience has been condemning the actor and director Lokesh Kanagaraj for one small aspect. The trailer initially had a Tamil cuss word uttered by the actor, which drew flak from many.
In fact, in almost all the interviews Lokesh Kanagaraj has been giving, one of the questions he is asked is with regards to why he chose to go with the cuss word in the trailer. It is even more interesting because the trailer has been rated A due to the cuss word, while the film is censored U/A.
Now, as a response to the backlash, the makers of Leo have muted the cuss word in the trailer. The move reportedly comes because the trailer is set to be screened across theatres this coming week.
Also starring Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sandy, Trisha, Myskiin, Priya Anand, Mansoor Ali Khan, and Mathew Thomas, among others, Leo is gearing up for release on October 19. Backed by Lalit Kumar's 7Screen Studio, Leo marks the sophomore collaboration of the actor and filmmaker, after Master.
